Introduction
The Master in Civil Engineering (M.Sc./M.Eng.) is offered in four specializations as listed below; to specialize in any of these areas the graduate must fulfill certain course and research work requirements:
- Structural Analysis and Earthquake Engineering
- Novel and Traditional Construction Materials
- Geotechnical Engineering
- Construction and Transport Infrastructure Management
More specifically, the Master of Science degree (M.Sc.) courses are grouped into four categories of courses, from which each student must successfully attend a specific number of courses in order to fulfill the requirements of the specialty thrust selected, as follows:
| Categories | Description |
| Α | Basic specialization graduate courses |
| Β | Elective specialization graduate courses |
| C | CEE graduate courses other than those in categories A and B |
| D | UCY graduate courses |
For the Master in Civil Engineering (M.Sc./M.Eng.), for each of the five thrusts, a number of successfully completed courses is required, as follows:
| Courses: | A | B | C | D |
| M.Eng. | ≥5 | ≤5 | ≤1 | ≤1 |
| M.Sc. | ≥ 4 | ≤3 | ≤1 |
Completion of a Master of Science in Civil Engineering, which is more research-oriented and requires only 7 successfully completed graduate courses, at least 4 graduate courses are required from group A, up to 3 graduate courses are allowed from group B and up to 1 graduate course is required either from group C or D. For example, a student could select 5 graduate courses from group A and 2 courses from group B, or 4 courses from group A, 2 courses from group B and 1 course either from group C or D.
Completion of an M.Eng. degree in Civil Engineering in any particular thrust which requires the successful passing of 10 graduate courses, the requirements correspond to at least 5 graduate courses from group A and up to 5 graduate courses from group B, while up to 1 course is allowed from group C and up to 1 course from group D, as specified for the particular of specialization. For example, a student could take 6 courses from group A and 4 courses from group B, or 5 courses from group A, 4 courses from group B and 1 course from Group C or D, as specified for the particular specialization.

Program Outcome
The program aims at providing the students with novel knowledge and aspires to educate them to:
- develop critical thinking
- seek continuous professional development
- introduce and adopt innovative concepts/ideas, technologies, and methods in their practice

Career Opportunities
There are professional opportunities for civil and environmental engineers in both private practice and public services. Graduates from the Master’s program in “Civil Engineering” may pursue careers in design, construction, maintenance, management or research and development. For example, in urban or developing population areas and industrial centers, civil and environmental engineers serve the public as planners, designers, and supervisors of transportation systems, water resources projects, pollution control facilities, and private and public utility enterprises.
